You got it. The name came from when I did a lot of work with output drivers on DRAM chips. We often called the drive strength parameter "Ron". Since the spelling was the same as my name, and since I am a somewhat of a wordsmith, I adopted Roff as one of my nicknames.
roff was the first Unix text-formatting program, also the most important application run on the first machine specifically purchased to run UNIX, and a predecessor of the nroff and troff document processing systems on Unix.

I'm on vacation in Minnesota, in a place where I can't get online. Right now I'm in the parking lot of Day's Inn in beautiful downtown Fergus Falls, using their wireless network.
"See" you guys in a couple of weeks.
